In 1958 Lowman was transferred to the New York Office to the position of supervisor of the Producing Division in the Exploration and Producing Department. He returned to Dhahran in 1960 as coordinator, Planning and Research, Producing Department.

Returning once again to Abqaiq in 1962, Lowman became district petroleum engineer, then district chief engineer, and in 1964 was named general superintendent of the Producing Department. He was named manager of Southern Area Producing in 1968.
